I think this guy is one of a few that thing that coincidence is simply that. Same as saying that it's not your fault for getting struck by lightning when you stand on a hill with a golf club in the air during a storm.

The problem occurred at, or around one of PWs much reviled unscheduled patches. Interesting that they're defended at all, by anyone. You sir, stand with a few.

getting same issue (also from uk) with being unable to connect to the patch server and did the tracert test but it would not let me copy it lol , please fix it rather quickly please cryptic cause if you dont it mean i have to do the house work

In case the Devs read this, it might help. I was able to tether my cell to my PC and connect to the game with no problems. This may very well be a DNS issue, but I don't know anything about their server setup so that's obviously a shot in the dark. Unfortunately I can't play through my cell's network since I don't have unlimited data.

For those of you who are in the same boat as me and connect to the game normally, all I can suggest is come back in a few hours. Go work on your character's build using the skill planner http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com (shameless self promotion lol) or watch a movie and then come back. In my honest opinion, it's going to be a while until this is completely resolved.
